In today’s entry of Blast From the Past: A Guide to Local Retro Video Game Stores, we visit the metropolitan area of Detroit, MI. The Motor City is home for 18 retro video game stores. Notable franchises include: Game Headz (Dearborn/Highland Park/Melvindale) and GamesVille USA (Detroit/Southfield). Other boutique stores like Destiny Games (Canton), Mind Games Etc. (Shelby Charter Township) and Retro-Taku Videogames (Madison Heights) are also thriving with business.

Are we missing a retro game store from Detroit not on this list? Do you have a story you’d like to share about visiting one of these stores? Feel free to let us know in the comments section!

In today’s entry of Blast From the Past: A Guide to Local Retro Video Game Stores, we visit the metropolitan area of Denver, CO. Let’s make one thing clear right now: Denver and the surrounding cities within a 60 mile radius know how to build a retro gaming community. The Mile-High City claims the title of having the most retro video game stores out of any other major city covered in this series so far, with 14 unique and 26 total (yes, you heard that number correctly) stores, respectively. Some notable franchises in the area include: Doc’s Video Games (Arvada/Aurora), Level 7 Games (Denver), and Game Source (Fountain/Littleton). Other boutique stores like Atomic Games West (Golden), Game Trader (Brighton), and Game Zone (Lakewood) act as their local city’s primary hub for retro gaming needs.

Are we missing a retro game store from Denver not on this list? Do you have a story you’d like to share about visiting one of these stores? Feel free to let us know in the comments section!

Gamers on the fence about buying a PS4 for exclusive titles may want to wait a little bit longer. One of Sony’s highly anticipated exclusives, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End, has been pushed out to launch in spring 2016.

Naughty Dog, the studio responsible for the game’s development, has attributed the delay to additional quality control standards. Neil Druckmann, one of the Uncharted series’ directors, stated that “this game is much more ambitious than we originally envisioned.” As a result, Druckmann goes on to say that “the game deserves every bit of the attention to detail, precise pacing, and nuanced storytelling Naughty Dog is known for.”

While fans may initially be disappointed about today’s announcement, Naughty Dog’s decision to preserve the game’s quality through implementing higher standards of quality control will benefit the overall success of the game in the long run.

In today’s entry of Blast From the Past: A Guide to Local Retro Video Game Stores, we visit the metropolitan area of Phoenix, AZ. Similar to our recent entry about Houston a few weeks ago, Phoenix has a large area (517 total square miles), providing ample room for the metropolitan area’s nine active retro video game stores to conduct business in. Within the college-friendly city of Tempe alone (home to Arizona State University, the largest US university by student enrollment), there are three: The Gaming Zone, Fallout Games, and Flashback Games. Moving to the area’s outskirts, you have boutique stores like Fix & Play Electronics (Avondale) and Game Zone (Gilbert).

Are you ready to blow off some steam after a stressful day at work? You now have the chance to do so, as the development team behind I Hate My Job has recently released their highly anticipated demo on the Google Play store (Check it out here or on the Google Play app).

The game’s objective is simple: achieve the highest score possible by throwing customers’ purchases right back at them. Players will also get increased time on the clock for hitting customers. Watch out though, if you nail another fellow SaveLess employee with an item, prepare to lose both points and time. As you continue to avoid hitting employees, your character’s throwing speed will increase while simultaneously building up a Rage Meter for a maximum unleashing of job unhappiness.

Don’t have an Android phone? Have no fear, Apple users – the game is set to launch very soon, where the full app will be available to download on iTunes. This is due to Apple’s restrictions for releasing incomplete content onto their app store (which includes demos).

The game will be fully available to download at the end of March on both iTunes and the Google Play store. In the meantime, you can help support the I Hate My Job team by donating to their Kickstarter campaign.

http://vgtribune.com/mario-vs-donkey-kong-tipping-stars-cross-buy-demo/#commentsThu, 05 Mar 2015 18:00:17 +0000http://vgtribune.com/?p=5483Nintendo’s first attempt at a Cross-Buy between Wii U and 3DS is interesting. It isn’t as straight forward as Apple’s, PlayStation Network’s, or Xbox Live’s approach to it, but it also isn’t as confusing as Nintendo initially let on.

I bought Mario Vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars on Wii U and took some screen captures to show the process to get the code for the 3DS version of the game. Start out by purchasing the game like normal…

When your purchase has been completed, the next screen that is displayed will contain the code for the 3DS version of the game:

Though if you missed it and closed that window before you wrote it down, there is a way to get the code back. From the main eShop menu, select “My Menu” in the upper-left corner, the button with your Mii in it. From that screen, scroll down a little until you get to the History section, which looks like this:

Select “Account Activity” and you will get a summary of your eShop transactions:

Find the game you are looking for and click on View Receipt. Then scroll down to the bottom of that and you will get your code again:

Steps are similar if you purchase the game on the 3DS to get your Wii U code.

If you digitally purchased NES Remix Ultimate or Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, a similar process is used to give you a free theme related to those games.

On one hand, this is a weird process. On the other hand, Nintendo has always been a little behind, or a lot behind, on best practices for their digital storefront. This is Nintendo’s first attempt at a cross-buy game using the eShops of 3DS and Wii U that were built separately then sort of hacked together to share a wallet. Maybe the next generation of systems will allow for more streamlined integration of account-specific content over multiple devices like … well, everyone else.
